HI everyone

I'm very new here and though I had my Mac for about one year, this is
the first time I subscribe to this newsgroup.

Anyway, I got mu Mac II with 5 Meg of rams and 40 Meg HD last september
and soon after collecting the machine, Apple introduced the Mac IIx and
subsequently the IIcx.  Not lone after that, I heard rumors that Apple
will be terminating the Mac II and I discovered my machine would soon
join my many other apples (mainly apple ][+, //e and ///) as 'orphaned'
computers.  I started to search for an upgrade path for my Mac II but
to my dismay, the cost is fantastic.... just like buying a new machine.

With such financial constraints, I can only hope to add a PMMU on my Mac
as well as the high density drive.  I like to know where I could get
a PMMU at a reasonable price.  Also, while reading other postings,
I kept coming across the 32 bit quickdraw.  I have a 8 bit graphic
card with the apple RGB color monitor with my system. I was hoping
that someone out there would be able to tell me the functionality of
the 32 bit quickdraw and the ways and means to get it.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million

Jeffrey Chau
